Some Democrats, particularly moderates, argue that their party has no choice but to move on. Several said they’ve privately taken their GOP colleagues to task for the decertification vote, confronting them about their position in private calls or delivering half-joking, expletive-filled rants in the hallways, insisting that they’re still willing to partner on bills.
“A couple of them have had questions, and I’ve patiently sat down and explained to them,” Cole said. “It was a tough call, I went back and forth on whether or not I should do it. But the sentiment in my district was very strong.” “I’ve been thinking about it. I haven’t talked to any of them about it, because I’m just furious,” said Lee, who sits on the Appropriations panel — a long-time bastion of bipartisanship — where 14 out of 26 Republicans voted to reject the results.
In fact, hours after the riots, as lawmakers resumed the election certification process, Reps. Andy Harris and Colin Allred nearly came to blows on the House floor, with Harris furious that Democrats accused him of being a liar. Their colleagues rushed-in to intervene. Axne’s office later said she has continued to work with Republicans since Jan. 6, including those who did vote against certification, though a spokesman said she remains “appalled at those Members of Congress who chose to validate the falsehoods that led to a violent insurrection.”
What difference does it make. Dictator Biden just does what he wants without going through Congress.
How did mattgaetz travel to Wyoming? Commercial or private jet? If a private jet, whose private jet? Has he submitted paperwork for reimbursement for a political stunt unrelated to his job? Who is funding Gaetz stunt?
The well is poisoned. So let’s use the moment to drain the seditionists. All of them. Time to revoke their citizenship.
After insurrectionists planted 2 bombs, ripped panic buttons out of offices and stormed the Capitol while Congress was seated... what did you expect? Honestly wth DomesticTerrorism Trump’s trial is going to expose some ugly truths🇺🇸. Are you prepared? gop
morgfair Sure. Imagine trying to work with coworkers who tried to get you killed. But unity.
The left is always looking for drama.
Disolve congress and start from scratch. While you are at it, expell all those poisonous snakes (i.e. Koch Network) who are destroying the country, not before demanding they return all they have stolen and pay reparations to the country. Abolish Citizens United and reform courts.
Children attend school, knowing a school shooting could happen, practicing in the event that it does and we r still expected to show up, do our job, and not have any trauma and to fully fiction. I expect the same from the f*cking government who won’t do anything about that issue.
In that case, they should be FIRED. Their SOLE purpose it to SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY!!! And not their personal vendettas or Anti Americans Agendas.
Remember when the police just let them in?
Trump is a political mob boss with questionable ties to Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia whose finances are a mystery and whose lying is unprecedented. He’s currently attempting to rule the GOP in exile after inciting an ongoing violent and deadly insurrection. Wake up America wtf
Almost like one of these parties is responsible for an attack that could have led to the death of other members of congress! But don't worry guys, just water under the bridge
Lol half of them encouraged terrorists to kill the other half. How can you be surprised? I don’t wanna have any “relationships” either.
Show me that it was Dems who sided with and protected a disgraced former president who attacked his own country to take power by force and torch the democratic process and maybe we can talk. republicans are wrong, Dems are right. Period.
Polite deferrals are over. The solution is for everyone to clearly state their top 3 goals. What are your top 3 goals, then take the top 3 mutual goals and get it done. It's not complicated. As long as you use identifiable goals, not e.g. world peace, prosperity for all.
We must EndTheFilibuster
Republicans are traitors I don't blame Democrats remove the traitors let's get to work
One side is Party to an insurrection against congress. The other is trying to govern. It’s not “divided;” it’s being attacked by republicans.
The dysfunctional US government is careening towards the collapse of the American empire.
I am sure it will all be fine once the red and blue both realize that they work for the corporations that are literally making them behave so polarized. In their division, they ensure that we can never rise up to overcome the entire system. One group says blue, the other red.
We only have one party interested in governing. Please stop it with the both sides.
Still love is only known through action. Please share this fundraiser, and please help to get the word out.
